Sevilla beat Juventus after extra time
Sevilla head coach Jose Luis Mendilibar commented on the team’s victory in the return semi-final Europa League with Juventus.
“Our goal was to do our best in this competition and everything is going well: we have knocked out two great teams like Manchester United and Juventus and we will prove ourselves in Budapest against another great team and another great manager.”
“People didn’t expect us to do something like this, but we got it. We played very good games, especially at home, and deservedly reached the final.”
The main time of the duel with Juventus ended in a draw 1:1. At the beginning of the first extra-time, the Nervions took the lead thanks to the efforts of Eric Lamela, who closed the supply of Brian Gil. In the 115th minute, Sevilla remained in the minority after the removal of Marcos Acuña, but Juventus could not take advantage of the numerical majority.
Sevilla will play in the Europa League/UEFA Cup final for the seventh time in history. The Spanish club has won the tournament a record six times.
Sevilla will face Roma in the Europa League final. The decisive match of the tournament will take place on May 31 in Budapest.
